_________________________

Combat Zone is a 3-player tank game. It is controlled by 2 players with the joystick and a 3rd player using the keyboard. Each round they are set up to shoot down each other in the battlefield. Power-ups appear randomly for the players to collect and at the end of each round, bonus coins can be collected and used in the shop after each round. The upgrades bought between rounds benefit the player for the rest of the game. The last player surviving is the winner. If the game is played single player, there are target practice rounds instead of a real battlefield with tanks.

Part of "Fantastic Four 2" game pack.

Some strange facts about our game:

The company we sold it to, told us they could not find a buyer for the game.  14 days after selling the game to them for a low price, the germany distributor "Magic Bytes" released the game.

The game-box included 4 games in total. The screenshot for our game (the one shown here) was taken from the early DEMO we send out long time before the game was finished.

They tried to switch the name of our game two or three times under development, because the "market" demanded it, they said ?

Finally they decided that we could call it "Battle Zone", and so they did on the package cover, but inside the game, we have always called it "Combat Zone" - so they sold a game called one thing on the back/cover and says something else inside the game.
